STOVE.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in stoves and has for its ob- ]ect the provlsion of a stove of the character described whereby kerosene and other similar 0118 may be utilized as fuel.

Another feature of the invention resides in the provisionof a novelly formed burner pan upon which-the fuel oil is fed and where combustion takes place.

A further feature of the invention resides in a novel means for admitting and regulating the draft to the combustion chamber.

resides in the provision of baffles in the flue chamber to retard the current of heated air passing through said chamber and to thereby cause a greater radiation of heat.

lVith the above and other objects in view, the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of parts an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein Figure 1 is a front view of the stove.

Fig. 2 is a side view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 33 of, Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional View of the burner pan, and t Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view of the combustion chamber, showing a plan view of the burner therein.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings wherein like numerals/of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numerals 1 and 2 refer, respec tively, to the upper and lower compartments of the stove, said compartments being approximately circular in cross section and being united by the front and rear walls 3 and 4 which are arcuate in cross section and are spaced apart so as to form a flue chamber 5 therebetween, said chamber communicating with the top and bottom com-- partments through the orifices 6 and 7, pro- Specification of Letters Patent.

' Application filed April 9, 1917. Serial No. 160,592.

' A still further feature of the invention:

Patented Mar. 18, 1919.

vided in the bottom 8 and the top 9, of the respective compartments 1 and 2. This particular contour of stove has been designed so as to give the maximum amount of heat radiating surface. Near the front part of the lower compartment 2 is a combustion chamber formed of the four walls 10, said-- walls extending from the top to the bottom of the compartment and being fixed to said.

topand bottom. The rear wall 10 of the combustion chamber as well' as the rear Wall of the compartment 2 have large transverse openings through which the draft pan 11 may be inserted, said pan extendingto the front wall of the combustion chamber and fitting closely therein. The rear part of the draft pan is of greater depth than the I front portion thereof, as shown in Fig. 2,

said front portion being abruptly offset relathe toathe rear portion, forming an abrupt shoulder which fits against the rear wall 10 of the combustion chamber as shown in F ig. 2. Within the cambustion chamber and resting upon the draft pan is the burner 12,

which will be specifically described hereafter. The top of the compartment 2 has a circular opening 13 which is alined above the burner 12 and a'perforated covering 1 1 is provided to cover this opening and upstanding from the top of the compartment 2 and surrounding the opening 13 are the bosses 15, which serve to keep the covering 14 in position and also to support any utensil which may be desirable to place on the QO stove. The numeral 16 refers to a cylindrical container which is fixed to the stove by means of suitable anchors as .17, 17 said container being spaced a distance from the stove and provided to receive the fuel.

Leading from the bottom ofthe container 16 is a feed pipe 18 which extends through the wall of the compartment 2 and through the rear wall 10 and discharges on to the top of the burner 12. through the feed pipe 18 is controlled by means of the valve 19 of the usual and well known construction.

The burner 12 is shown in detail in Fig. 5,

the same being approximately conical in shape and being formed of sheet metal. This burner is punched full of perforations so as to throw up flanges 20 around each perforation, so that the oil which drips on to the burner from the pipe 18 will trickle clown the sides thereof without passing through the burner perforations.

The flow of fuel 100 The side Walls lO'of the'combu'stion chamber are provided with perforations 21 above the burner so as to permit the escape of the heated air from the chamber. The draft is admitted to the burner through the ventilator 22 and through the opening 23 in said; draft pan underneath the burner as Well as through the orifices in the covering H. Combustion takes place on the burner 12 and the heated air passes, as hereinbefore explained, through the orifices 21 and 7 and up through the flue chamber out through the orifice 6 into the compartment 1 and passes out thence through the pipe 22.

The flue chamber 5 is provided on opposite sides with spiraled baffles 24, 24, arranged in staggered relation. These baffles are provided to retard the current of heated air passing up through the chamber 5 and thereby cause a greater radiation of heat.

What I claim is: A stove includln'g an upper and a lower chamber spaced apart, and a flue arcuate in cross section connecting said chambers,

spiraled baflles in the flue arranged in staggered relation, an lnclosure 1n the front part of the lower chamber composed of four Walls extending from *the top to thebottom of said chamber, the rear 'Wall and the rear portion of the chamber having alined transverse openings therethrough, a removable draft-pan inserted through said openings and extending up to the front Wall of the inclosure, said pan having an opening in the top thereof and a draft inlet in the rear end thereof, a removable conical shaped burner mounted on the pan above the opening in the top thereof, said burner 7 being perforated, and its upper side being provided With upwardly extending flanges to retard the How of oil thereover, the Walls of. said inclosure having outlet orifices on each side above said burner, a fuel receptacle, a feed pipe leading therefrom and WV Q A. OATH'EY.
